Goldenrod Extract

Description

Goldenrod Tincture (Solidago canadenis)

Goldenrod is a perennial plant that is known well for its healing properties. Goldenrod does not cause seasonal allergies as many tend to believe. No one is, no one can be, allergic to Goldenrod pollen. Why? For starters, it has little and is very heavy and does not travel freely on the wind. Only wind-pollinated plants such as Ragweed (which blooms at the same time as Goldenrod) can cause allergic reactions.

One of the main traditional uses of goldenrod tincture was to treat infections of the bladder and the urinary tract. There is scientific evidence that the plant is effective in treating these complaints which supports its traditional use. The German commission has approved the use of goldenrod to treat urinary tract infections.

Here is what German researchers had to say about the potential of goldenrod in urinary tract conditions.

The use of such herbal preparations with a rather complex action spectrum (anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, diuretic, antispasmodic, analgesic) is especially recommended for treatment of infections and inflammations, to prevent formation of kidney stones and to help remove urinary gravel. This therapy is safe at a reasonable price and does not show drug-related side-effects.

Goldenrod can be extremely useful for upper respiratory congestion. As an expectorant, goldenrod can dislodge mucous easily from the lungs. Try it infused with honey or as a tea with honey added. It’s astringency will help dry up all that congestion. Whether it is due to allergies, sinusitis, colds or flu, think of goldenrod when you need a strong herbal decongestant.

Goldenrod extract provides traditional support for aches and pains and helps ease symptoms of tired and achy muscles or arthritis.

Goldenrod (Solidago canadenis) Tincture comes in 1, 2, and 4 ounce, size.
